🔍 Key Concepts

• Boat davits and falls – understand the parts used when lowering and hoisting lifeboats • Different purposes of frapping, tricing, and tripping lines in boat handling • How passengers are kept close to the ship’s side and safe during boarding from davits

💭 Think About

• Which line is specifically used to pull or hold the boat in close to the ship’s side while people get in or out? • Which of these lines is mainly for temporarily lifting or snugging the boat to the embarkation deck, rather than holding it alongside? • Which option sounds like it relates to releasing or tripping a mechanism, rather than steadying and securing?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match each term with its primary function in lifeboat/davit operations, not just how the name sounds • Identify which line is used after the boat is lowered to the embarkation deck to keep it alongside while loading • Eliminate any term that is mainly associated with releasing, capsizing, or temporarily lifting rather than holding the boat inboard and steady
